Question time!

...with Mars

Yo. How does The Internet (yes, you) feel about stalking people from primary school, finding them on myspace, flickr and other published writings after you've googled their name, their bother, mother, father and cat's name... and also their old address? You've also looked through all (and i do mean all) their myspace friends looking for photos of the stalked as they have their own setting to 'private' (extremely annoying setting which should not be allowed).

Should one, then, after all that add said stalked to their myspace freinds? Keeping in mind that the stalked may be a little surprised to hear from you after say... 10 years and you may become geek-laughing-stock of old highschool friends. Although.. not so much friends as people you were in the same year level as.

Also keep in mind that the stalked is now a lesbian. Which makes me want to stalk her even more, to be honest... just cause i don't have any actual lesbian friends. As such.

Wow that's serious. For some reason it's making me think of that old Hall & Oates song "Private Eyes." Private eyes, they're watching you. They see your every move.Next you'll be sitting in a car outside her house LMAO.

But seriously... doesn't everyone do a little stalking on MySpace? That's how I found out my now ex had started talking to someone else.

I have to admit that today I sorta-stalked a friend from high school. It started because I couldn't remember her older brother's name and ended with me whitepageing her parents' old address. Not sure why, since I know she lives in Brisbane now and is obviously way cooler than I am. (That's not hard, of course.)

Dot and Mars met at high school in Melbourne. Mars didn't like Dot that much, however eventually they got chatting in chathouse.com during IT classes and found they had heaps in common.

After high school Dot and Mars upgraded to ICQ, Messenger and emailing. This kept them in touch until eventually in 2005 they moved in together and started a blog; 'Dot and Mars: Two Housemates, One House, One Blog'.

In 2007 Dot got married and moved to New York City San Francisco to seek her dream job. At the same time Mars moved to Manchester Melbourne to seek her dream man.
